Conservatism as a Mental Illness
Republican pols have recently exhibited 10 telltale signs of mental illness.
Published on June 12, 2012 by Barry X. Kuhle, Ph.D. in Evolutionary Entertainment

In Creationism as a Mental Illness, Robert Rowland Smith argues that creationists exhibit several signs of mental illness including denial, psychosis, and inability to grasp irony.

The specter of mental illness does indeed loom large over creationists, but they are not alone. Signs of psychopathology can also be seen among their political bedfellows, conservative politicians, especially when you consider a wide range of illness indicators. In his award-winning 2005 book, Dr. James Whitney Hicks discusses 50 signs of mental illness including denial, delusion, hallucination, disordered thinking, anger, anti-social behavior, sexual preoccupation, grandiosity, general oddness, and paranoia. Now I'm no clinician, but in my (admittedly biased brown) eyes it seems that prominent Republicans have evidenced each of these ten telltale signs of mental illness over the past year:

1) Denial: humans did not evolve; Obama is not a native-born American Christian
2) Delusion: climate is not changing
3) Hallucination: God ordained me to be President
4) Disordered Thinking: being for small government that's huge in the bedroom; being anti-contraception and anti-abortion
5) Anger: Newt Gingrich’s perpetual scowl
6) Anti-social Behavior: toward women, gays, minorities, anyone without an umbilical cord or trust fund
7) Sexual Preoccupation: a fervent compulsion to control when we can mate, with whom we can mate, and precisely how we are allowed to mate (which I lampoon in Why Do Politicians Want to Police Dick and Jane's Private Parts?)
8) Grandiosity: even Rick Santorum recognizes Gingrich’s “over the moon” grandiosity
9) General Oddness: Ron Paul
10) Paranoia: pretty much all of them, all of the time
Even (the not necessarily dumb) Pope Francis appears to recognize that “it is a serious illness, this of ideological [conservative] Christians. It is an illness, but it is not new, eh?”
Until Jon Huntsman becomes the sane voice of his insane party, maybe "Republican Syndrome" should be added to the DSM-V so that crazy conservative pols can receive the mental health treatment they need. I bet "Obamacare" would even cover it.

ROFLMNAO!

I guess I'll never tire of watching the Left cry about 'evolution', even as their every 'feeling' results in the devolution of human reasoning.

LOL! You can NOT make this crap up.

odd! it's the right that does not use reason or logic.
true! no one person made this up it was taken from observation of the right.

So you're lamenting fatally flawed reasoning, through the advancement of vacuous conjecture?

ROFLMNAO!

Again, folks... IF I had predicted that the above contributor was prone to such foolishness, how loud would she have screamed in the course of denying it?

Proving "ONCE AGAIN!" that YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS CRAP UP!

besides being completely wrong in your erroneous speculation on my post.
you fucked up even harder by assuming I'm female...
thus proving my point : the right does not use reason or logic.

Ted Cruz Claims That The Left Is Threatening His Personal Safety

Is that supposed to be some sort of denial or evidence of something negative regarding Cruz?

It is a fact that the Ideological Left is second ONLY TO DISEASE in the taking of human life.

For Pete's sake, the Left is threatening the lives of CHILDREN who post up their hunting photos... it is a mathematical certainty that they're going to threaten the lives of their more effective opposition. It's GOT TO HAPPEN... it cannot, NOT HAPPEN.

So, what was your point in posting that?

oh shit! another anti choice fetuses are people too just outed himself as having faulty circuitry..
the only poster denying any thing is you is.

 

[daws101]

what would you know about analytical thinking or critical thinking ?

Critical Thinking is the process of analyzing and evaluating information to reach an answer or conclusion. It is the ability to analyze facts generate and organize ideas, defend opinions, make comparisons, draw inferences, evaluate arguments and solve problems.
Analytical Thinking is when you habitually use analysis in your thinking process. It follows a scientific approach.

The whole segment was their opinion. They didn't present facts to analyze. If they had been libertarian and expressed views I agreed with, I would say they are right, but I still wouldn't call it analysis since they didn't analyze anything, they just expressed views I agreed with. That's all Tingle Boy did, express opinions you agreed with. You'd know that if you knew what critical thinking is.

your posts show no indication of either .
they do however overflow with fascist dogma..

LOL, I'm a fascist libertarian. You really don't know what words mean...

wow! two total bullshit rationalizations in one post .

Fascist Libertarianism For a Better World The Right Stuff
yep you are!

Wow, the opinion of a left wing blogger who is like you swimming in kool-aid, knows nothing about economics and apparently doesn't own a dictionary to look up words he doesn't know before he uses them. That is compelling, thanks!

total bullshit rationalizations

Rationalization?

It was a statement of FACT.

false! is was a rationalization based on bias and willful ignorance.
the only fact presented is your denial that it is rationalizing.

 

[daws101]

Tell the truth, you masturbated through that whole thing, didn't you? The actual Cruz quotes didn't support any of their hate filled leftist drivel.

you have a rich fantasy life.
false it's more than enough evidence to show his bad wiring.

It was all their ranting opinions. They just showed random clips that would convince no one with a critical mind of anything pro or con. They just get kool-aid chuggers sexually excited. You know, you.

OH GOODY! A citation of the formal concepts.

Now daws, as an advocate of critical and analytical thinking, please take a moment to produce an example of such having been advanced in support of the Ideological Left's perspective, from the record of this discussion. Using your citations, break down the relevant example to identify the specific elements of those respective traits

Naturally, your failure to do so will be YOUR concession to ME, that you're an imbecile.

OK! Fingers are crossed..., READY?

GO!

golly! setting erroneous conditions is so fuckin typical of pseudoeducated pseudo intellectuals !

Franken's a Fuck.

Despite Franken's long history in the entertainment industry, you don't see him hogging the spotlight, do you? He's not out there running to the cameras to get attention. In fact, you hardly ever see him. Know why? It's because he's doing the work. A lot of what's involved (or what's supposed to BE involved) with being a representative or a Senator is immersing yourself in the issues. That means reading and educating yourself. That means briefing books, and reports, and numbers, and summaries of reports which include evidence, and numbers, and comparisons, and cost-benefit analyses. It's pretty dry and boring stuff.

Meanwhile, men like Cruz, who just so happens to be one of the new darlings of the right, run around making noise and trying to get attention like a stripper with a new boob job. Cruz is like the Dennis Rodman of the Senate.

Prominent Harvard Prof. Alan Dershowitz’s Comments About Ted Cruz Could Help His 2016 Chances

Apr. 7, 2014 11:03am

Prominent Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz offered words of praise for former student Ted Cruz in a new interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer:

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas): “Off-the-charts brilliant. And you know, liberals make the terrible mistake, including some of my friends and colleagues, of thinking that all conservatives are dumb.

And I think one of the reasons that conservatives have been beating liberals in the courts and in public debates is because we underestimate them.

Never underestimate Ted Cruz.

He is off-the-chart brilliant. I don’t agree with his politics.”

But the retiring Dershowitz couldn’t similarly evaluate another Harvard Law alumnus:

There was also the Harvard Law student who couldn’t get into a Dershowitz class despite multiple attempts: Barack Obama.

“Twice because the computer kept him out,” Dershowitz said. “It wasn’t my fault.”
